I have a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 570 currently and this is going to be my next card! So stoked!!! Thanks for the great review 🔥🔥
I have a 5700 XT nitro + and I'm very happy with all my nitro cards so far ; )
Same boat as you, but I have Sapphire r9 270x. Waiting for this to be available in my country.
These Sapphire cards are built to last.
sameeee brooo
Its deff worth it, i bought it over my 3070. But damn the quality is insane in some proper games like Mortal Online 2, Sons of the forrest, Avatar, Hell let loose. Those where the main games my 3070 truggled with a bit. But thats all over now. Finally !
Sapphire ATI 9800 XT was the bomb back in the days.
First time on your channel and I have to say your cogent in your delivery of good metrics!!
Purchased with intent for 5 years - first build in 25 years (much has changed).
So many posts stating this particular card runs hot, it had soured me to attempting in a hyte y60 case -aftermarket bracket issues notwithstanding.
I think I’ve made a good decision on this card; thank you sir. Subscribed.
I bought a Sapphire card many years ago, and was so impressed by the build quality, that now when looking for a GPU I am specifically looking at a Sapphire card.
Omg Wendell, you look stunning. I am so proud of you (it's been awhile since I've seen you). Also wow is it refreshing to see a -glowing- review of a video card this decade.
Yes please. Sapphire is my goto. The last 3 cards I have bought.
Same! I really see them as the EVGA of AMD
Why is the core exposed
Omg say why then
Regarding the two power connectors. I went a step farther this last build in January. I purchased the 180 degree power connectors. They plug into the Card and do a quick U-turn towards the back of the card. Its very compact. Just plug your power into those and the wires are headed in the right direction into the back frame of your Case. They are an excellent purchase.
this video sealed the deal for me man.. I appreciate it!!!
Big fan of Sapphire's card. On nvidia now because Blender but as a AMD fan always have run Sapphire in the past.
Get my card in the next day or two. Pretty stoked. Upgrading from a Palit 3070ti. Hunting down that VRAM and cooling.
I can barely tell this card ramped up from idle when launching games. The cooler may be overkill from a practical standpoint, but the acoustics are lovely. Also, no coil whine!
Changed my old 970 with this and loving it so far, still need to push but so far performs nice on 1080/144hz
Very helpful review. Would be interesting to see comparisons to other brands (Gigabyte, Asus, XFX etc) and maybe do a streaming/recording encoding (HEVC, AV1) review (e.g. in OBS) and comparison with the 4070. This kind of review is missing (not a single video in YT).
There're some video comparisons on yt, not maybe with this card but all cards from same gen share same media engine so it will be exactly same experience.
But yt is wrong media for that, what you see is usually third compression of same video clip, not a first one so I'm not sure how that data visually mean anything, at best you can take reviewers word as proof of anything.
Thanks for posting this video. Bought this card today and I love it. Upgrade from a 1060GTX 6GB
Nice! I upgraded from the same card and it's been great so far
@@BaldKiwi117 Is it still good?
@@sui7 yeah still works very well
and what cpu you have with it

My 7800XT Nitro+ just arrived and was eager to test the temperatures & noise levels of the card. In Time Spy using out of the box-settings, Edge temp was below 60'C and hotspot below 80'C the whole duration of the test. I didn't even hear the fans turning on at all or any coil whine. Sapphire didn't disappoint this time either.
That's dope! Sapphire is premium vendor and thank god cause they always deliver! How's your card doing right now? Which reslution are you playing at?
@@Numernabis Playing on 1440p. Card is managing as it should in CP2077, Remnant 2, EFT & such.
My first card back in the day was a sapphire 4870 with the one picture of the chick on it. Loved that card.
Just built a new pc and went with a 7800x3d and 7900xtx. I got an xfx 7900 though, in hindsight I probably should have went with sapphire.
I was able to snag the last one of these on newegg in my area when they released :) I'm so excited (and refreshing my newegg tracking every 5 minutes)
I'd love to see PURE vs NITRO+ comparison, but I anyway think that this version (nitro+) makes best sense
Wanted the pure because it’s white but it’s pre order only everywhere. Ordered this instead.
ur lucky i have to drive 700km to get one lol its out of order everywhere@@Bit-Z1
the Pure re uses cooler from 7700XT so i kinda expect meh results
@@ThunderingRoar it’s a Sapphire so I’d still expect it to be amongst the best being 2.5 slot. The Nitro+ 3 slot will obviously be way ahead though.
I'm currently running the sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx. Even running at 462 watts overclocked it never gets above 61°C with 35-40% fan speed. 21.6°C ambient in my room. Sapphire built an extremely awesome cooler.
462w ??? is it running at 2.8 or 2.9ghz?
how does it compare to a base stock 4090?
@@elu5ive Sapphire nitro is pretty awesome, mine undervolts very well and will hit well over 3ghz, under load it's usually around 2.9ghz with undervolts and stock power. The reference XTX at 350w gives up a fair bit to hit that 350w limit, with undervolting the reference card really gains a lot of performance. It doesn't necessarily affect average a ton, but it really smooths things out from my experience.
The overbuilt cooler is my favorite part! Love the temps and how it looks. The fans are quiet and usually stay under 40% under load. It's whisper quiet compared to the single fan 1060 6gb I was coming from lol
The is why I love L1Techs with Wendell✊😇🥰, his reviews are quite detailed with graphs etc for comparisons etc, uses the everyday titles, talks about a product more like a bro chat rather than a science geek, no offence Steve …. And Steve ☺😉, and it comes across more personable imo. A great format imo🥰✊😇👍.
I’ve got sapphire 5700xt and it’s been a gem. I’m gonna get the 7800xt ! Can’t wait
The last Radeon card I bought was the Sapphire ATI 9800 Pro 128Mb. Absolute monster of a card back in the day! Gutted though as I bought it within the first week or two of it being released then about 6 or so months later they released the 9800 XT 😭. I’m getting either a 7800XT of 7900XT this Christmas which will be a Sapphire 😎
that generation of ati cards murdered 2 generations of nvidia. it was a bloodbath
lol me too! thats why I chose the sapphire brand.. go figure LMAO
Still love my Sapphire Nitro 6700XT, its gorgeous and built like a tank. I love the dedicated VRAM heatsink😍
You should def do overclocking capability tests for these high-end custom cards. At least based on TPU's sample of this card, they achieved a ~19% performance increase OC (only tested synthetics).
nah amd card sucks at oc, cauz amd tried to jacked clock at stock as high as possible, u ll get a 10% max
@@jake9854it depends about architecture, not manufacturer
Anybody use without. Support bracket
@@miroslavpaulovic171 percent lows for fire strike is crazy
@@magnefficientgaming4327 for fire Strike? What?
Awesome review. I'm thinking about getting one of these cards I don't know much about Radeon cards my other choice is a red devil
just ordered this card for myself as xmas present :)upgrading from a xfx 6600xt.
I have the 7900XTX version of this, and it is exactly the same physically. You can tell they didn't change the design because there's space for 3 8-pin power connectors. The Dual BIOS is actually a remnant of the 7900XTX having an OC BIOS and a stock BIOS. Though to be honest, cooling capacity is somewhat overkill even for the 400W board power it pulls on the highest end OC BIOS, the card never really goes above 70 degrees hotspot in a well ventilated case.
you should see the size of my galax rtx 4080 for a card that's pulling 210w peak with my undervolt. i don't think it even needs fans, this 4 slot monstrosity that's significantly taller than an entire xbox series X console when standing on its end.
Like the recessed pci-e conectors, should work well with PCI-E 90 Degree Angle 8 pin cables for better cable management..
I have a 5700xt pulse but this nitro looks pretty good. Didn’t know it was three slots. Need to wait till I get back from vacation to look at my car to make sure it’ll fit.
Most AIB's are really stepping up on the quality of their cards. It's great to see
sapphire was always top notch. its the flagship brand for amd / ati since the very beginning.
What is AIB?
I would really like to hear about the fan noise and whine difference between the reference card versus the Sapphire AIB such as decibels please. 😊
Power ports above the rgb strip seems like challenging cable management
Built my wife and I duplicate systems in 2021; when GPUs were outrageously overpriced. Now that they are coming back down; l replaced the old carryover cards with two of these Nitro+ 7800xt cards.
Cases: Fractal Torrent
Motherboards: Gigabyte Aero G X570S
The Nitro+ was a bear to get in her case. I swear it is bent from manufacturer. Mine slipped right in no issue.
I really like the three screw support arm (only two are the same as the GPU itself, so it actually has four support points.
With the Adrenaline drivers, it is a *SWEET* GPU!!! I highly recommend if anyone is looking to upgrade from a much older and less vRAM card.
I just ordered this rn, hope I didn’t make a mistake 😢 coming from a 3060 one fan . 7800xt pls be good 😩
Thank you!!
A sapphire ntiro plus would last u at least 7 years without much issue. Totally worth the money.
Lmao the savagery of roasting Callisto Protocol has me dying 😂😭
500 quid in the UK
50 quid cheaper than the 6800xt for the standard that one is retailing at 550..
Looking forward to when we eventually get a Sapphire Toxic 9950XTX Liquid Cooled edition
Nitro plus and red devil are the ones I want. Just wish they'd come down in price as they cost 25% mroe than reference here in Canada
What i love about this card is nice performance and 16gb vram
The price
I would really like to hear about the fan noise and whine difference between the reference card versus the Sapphire AIB please.
im getting this one !!sooo sick
The pulse model is great as well. Dont let the plastic aesthetic fool u. IT COOLS REALLY WELL and it doesnt make a lot of noise. Btw my pc is so close to me on my left cuz no leg room.
I have this irrational fear of heat management, so knowing that the Nitro+ has a beefy cooling solution and stays chill no matter what you throw at it, sets my mind at peace. I'll definitely be getting that card when I eventually get to building my PC
@@user-jn7gm3ct8z welp, a bit late for that now, I followed up on what I said just about a week later, I did indeed get the Nitro+ 7800XT, and I absolutely love it
@@user-jn7gm3ct8z esa diferencia de enfriamiento es mínima y el nitro plus tiene un mejor desempeño y overclock.
Would you recommend this or the hellhound?
Ordered one and it will replace my Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT from 2019 and i will probably keep it as long.
This card is the best thing ever, in the Hyte Y40 i can almost conseal the gpu power cables almost 100% cause the power connectors are so far down. vs the 4080 in my country, almost 1/3 price and almost 1/2 of the 7900 xtx.
Good price vs what i play Wow Mineacraft D2R and League, real overkill graphic card for those games but max settings and no fsr or anything, 240+ fps in all those games at 1440p.
I can't find a single review that undervots/underclocks these new gpus to see if you can squeeze out more performance. Can you please do that? Why don't gpu reviews show info like that anymore, it was common practice to see if you can squeeze more performance out of a new gpu and get more value for your money...
I am running the 7900 XT Nitro+ which is using the very same design and that's probably why we are seeing this design for the 7800. Is it overkill? Yep. Did they already have it available and could largely reuse it? Yep. It looks like a decision was being made to streamline manufacturing and arguably in a good way for the customer. Maybe it could have been cheaper with a more modest cooling design.. but do we really buy sapphire nitros for that in the first place :-) ?
Will mention is that the stock fan curves dont do it justice. Once you custom set them and make them run harder then itll cool it down significantly.
I agree, I turned off zero fan setting in the adrenalin software and it runs very cool.
Got 7900xtx Sapphire Nitro .. for a first time after more than a decade being with nvidia getting flagships only .. and i must admit, build quality, engineering... i was shocked really..From now on i buying Sapphire cards.. 👌
Do you think the 7800 xt will be a decent upgrade over the Radeon VII from Davinci Resolve?
got a sapphire 6600 XT atm. i'm planning on upgrading to 1440p later this year. might just be my next GPU for the foreseeable future.
I used a 5600xt for 1440p for about 3 years (now on 7800 xt) and it works just fine with a few compromises in heavy hitters like Red Dead Redemption 2, so the 6600 xt is probably a decent intro card for 1440p.
@@TheMistyBlueLounge I'm looking for high refresh gaming on decent quality settings . the 6600xt is unfortunately not up to it imo.
@@bennY-lz3wd Yea maybe not, the 7800 xt gives about 120-140 fps in most demanding games without RT at 1440p so that might be a safer bet. I find it's tricky trying for those high refresh rates because so many games are simply not optimized for that performance even if you spend the money :(
Just got my one
Hey Wendell. I like your content, I like you. The review is fair. I got convinced myself. But god damn it do I regret it. I've spent so many, many hours in the past two months troubleshooting, reading forums, talking with technicians. Nothing fixed my issues. Two straight months of constant driver timeouts in WoW. The issue only got better with WoW's latest patch but Blizzard not prioritizing to fix the issue on their end just says something about AMD products. I've sent numerous reports to AMD, hundreds even and I've never gotten an email back. Spending so much on a GPU to have an experience this bad is just depressing. I've tried everything in the world to get the thing stable but the only way to fix it was to revert to DX11, which came with a huge performance hit. I didn't even know what hardware acceleration is before. Now I've had to disable it on all the programs I could. Perhaps reviewers should warn their viewers of these things as an asterisk at the end of their videos. AMD just doesn't have a big enough userbase. Companies won't prioritize fixing their issues when 80% of their users are on NVIDIA cards. AMD won't get as much data out of an issue to fix it fast enough. I wanted to believe in AMD so much, I wanted to believe it will run as smoothly as all the reviewers said (like Luke from LTT saying he forgot he changed his card) but when it comes to where I spent my money, I'm extremely disappointed. Freakin' hell, I did everything right. I did my research, I double checked for any errors when building my PC. Nothing fixes the damn TDR issue. And it's a long-standing one if all my time searching in google, reddit, amd and blizzard forums says anything.
Hit me up on the forum, might like to look at your particular card/config to see what's up. I had one other user I helped that had a bad dp cable causing driver timeouts
@@Level1Techs I really, really appreciate you responding to this comment. SOMEHOW I had turned off notifications for replies on my comments, so I only just saw your reply. I'm using the DP cable that came with my monitor. I've got a spare HDMI cable lying around, it's a high end one from UGREEN. Will try swapping cables before posting. Again, I really appreciate even the intent of helping out. I've been feeling very desperate lately.
Sapphire cards are good. I got a PULSE RX6800XT crammed into NZXT H1v1 It stays surprisingly cool and quiet. I can get it to hit 80 C in Control at 1440p 100-130 fps (Linux), but doesn't go above that.
have you tried RT in that game? I played it earlier this year on my 6800XT red devil rendered at 1080p, doing it at native 1440p would drop the FPS down to around 45 sometimes. I tried the game again earlier this week and now my system seems to constantly have stutters and frame drops that didn't exist before even on 1080p.
@@spitfire1789 RT is not worth it.
I wish AMD and Nvidia started to design around slot widths and card lengths.
It'd be nice if you had a minimum and maximum card.
X060 Min that'll work with 150w mb power and just enough radiator to cool it quietly and Max that has 2 pins to just floor it with a 2.5 slot radiator.
Basically a laptop compatible min SKU designed to fit in partnered models but nobody is stopping you from slotting it in a PC
is that firestrike graphics score for the rtx 4080 right? mine gets 60k with an undervolt on top of it, on an am4 system. heck my 6900xt score i have recorded here is 58k
i got me the asrock steel legend white graphic card from new egg should look good in my white lian li case
Considering if this nitro plus card will look good in my white build or if i should wait for the pure model
Sold my 3070 and got this card and it has great performance.
Does this card fit into lian li q58? Feeling like upgrade to 7900xtx, but the nitro+ card for 7900 xtx is so thick, 3.5-4 slot card.
Would it be worth it to upgrade to this if I have a non-XT 6800 XFX card to this?
This is madness! - Madness? This is Sparta!
I wonder if anyone will make a 32 gig version of this setup?
the trust ive in sapphire manufacture is above rog or gaming x's one's.
Does this card also have a Vapor chamber like the one in 7900 XTX vapor X edition? asking for a friend
No, pretty much all 7800XT's don't because it is completley unnecessary for a card like this.
I see. Considering this or a 7900xt for a 4k setup. My 1060 is well over 5 years old.
For 4k I’d go with the 7900. This is capable but it’s not targeted as a 4k card.
so basically I'm screwed I can't use this card in my current case View 71 Tempered Glass Edition I have only two slots and this one has 3 slot brackets to ever make this gigantic card sit horizontally in my case or is there a way?
How do you overclock the card do u just hit overclock gpu on the adrenaline software?
Which position is the OC Bios? I can´t find this information anywhere!
Can't wait for Black Friday
Since I'm playing at 1080p this card should be perfect for me. I had 6900XT but I sold it (I had Red Devil but Coil Whine was unbearable..) I'm battling in my mind which one should I get since there's not much of a difference (price) between 7800XT or 7900XT. But when I look at 7900XT in terms of price I can get a 7900XTX for a little more than 7900XT and I'm talking about Nitro+ from Sapphire. What do you think about ASUS TUF models of Radeon GPUs? Also awesome video!
7900xtx is insanely overkill for 1080p... even the 7800xt is meant for high refresh rate 1440p... i wouldnt spend more than $300 on a gpu for 1080p unless you just like wasting money
Seriously though a 7800xt gets like 120-140 fps in most high end games (without RT) @ 1440p. Do you really need anything more than that for 1080p?
will the be okay to pair with i5 13500 intel? gonna use this for streaming obs and da vinci resolve
is it worth buying over the xfx 7800xt gpu?
Will this work good with my msi g-sync compatible/adaptive sync?
this is the best specd 7800xt, support brace , switch, fan in also great
How does this card compare to pulse and other brands like red devil and tuf?
I want to get this card if I can't get a 6800 XT variant. The 6800 XT variant is unavailable in Canada right now. I want to support Sapphire as I have the 5700 XT Nitro+ version and it has been a great card but it's gotten long in the tooth lately. My 5950X is screaming for some work to do so...
its rare to see a 2 HDMI 2.1 card, usually do to with the extra licensing costs.
Do the 7700 & 7800 XT's have the AMD Reset Bug?
nice to see a review but i was hoping to see the card installed to verify if it has RGB...can anyone verify this?
What's in the box mate?
whats difference between this normal sapphire and pulse?
Red devil or sapphire nitro+?
Nice card!
Can you please test if this card is capable of driving 6 monitors using 2 MST hubs like the Club 3D CSV-7200
A lot of AMD cards in the past list 4 monitors supported while they truly can handle 6, ie the RX580
I'm currently running 6 30 inch 2560x1600 through an RX580 in an EG200 eGPU enclosure.
Feels good to add 6 good monitors to a laptop by connecting a single cable.
This is a £60 increase over the PULSE version so I'm curious what the real difference is. Can't find any reviews of the PULSE yet.
RGB front worth the $60 pretty and nice
Would it fit in Cooler Master nr200p?
Do the drivers come with card?
I suppose my only concern would be how long it is. My current case, a Cooler Master HAF X only supports about 13 inches of length, but I don't believe it in that regard. And I am very interested in a quiet card after my reference vega 64 card. Sure, I adjusted the fan curve to avoid it cooking it self while I am unemployed. But I still wish it were quieter.
32 cm
is the nzxt 650 watt anough for the rx 7700xt version
i am definetly getting this GPU
I was coming and going between Nvidia and AMD But I've made up my mind now. the card consumes less power, and the performance it gives according to the price is quite good instead

Very nice,
How does it compare to a 6800 XT ?
Hardware Unboxed found it was just a little faster for Raytracing and for raster. Around 8 percent I think it was.
It's a more more energy efficient RX 6800 XT with RDNA3 features and slightly better RT, about 6% faster depending on the title.
seems just a tad faster to be honest but cheaper and has rdn 3 and av1 encode decode.. 6800x is dead imo
gunna get one soon as overclockers have em in stock
The same
@@Lionheart1188it's barely more efficient actually
I have the Sapphire Pulse 7800 XT, and it's basically identical to those seen here, and I believe it's about $50 cheaper, with only two fans and a nicer aesthetic imo. Peak temperature on the hot spot is 89 degrees, other sensor is about 60-65 degrees, that's with cyberpunk at 1440p nearly maxed with normal ray tracing (not ray reconstruction... it doesn't like that lol). That's with the default fan curve which leaves a lot of room for extra cooling at the cost of a little noise.
It's not particularly quiet when it's revving higher than 70% or so (I also have a louder, Fractal North case), but if you push it up it can stay cooler by about 10 degrees or more, and at default keeping it at 89 it's not loud at all imo.
Great to know Sapphire did not skimp on thermals and accoustics with MSRP models, unlike most AIB partners in recent years.
I would like to know about the performance difference between the NItro+ vs the Pulse
I'll just repost my comment. Here's a little mini review of the Pulse, I bought it about 3 weeks ago.

You can also keep the fan off when not gaming and it keeps a temp between 35-40 degrees, about 45 in the hot spot.
I can't compare the fps exactly because I don't play most of these games or I use different settings, but it seems to match up based on my experience with Cyberpunk 2077. I actually have 16k vs 12k Firestrike Ultra score which is a lot higher but I can't really explain that, I think time spy was about the same but can't quite remember. I'm pleased with it so far for sure.
@@TheMistyBlueLounge Thanks for the info. just seeing if it is worth going for the Nitro + or Pulse this go around. Went with Nitro+ in prior cards, curious about the Pulse version. Thanks again from the real life experience
